===== Editing pages =====
This Wiki runs on the [[wiki:DokuWiki]] software. DokuWiki supports some simple markup language, which tries to make the datafiles to be as readable as possible. For a complete overview of all possible syntax you may use when editing a page, check the [[wiki:syntax|syntax page]]. Simply have a look at the source of a page by pressing the //Edit this page// button at the top or bottom of the page.

If you want to try something, just use the [[playground:playground|playground]] page. The simpler markup is easily accessible via [[doku>wiki:quickbuttons|quickbuttons]], too.
